Warmer/Colder game

[Carey]

This is my Warmer/Colder game. It's for my culminating activity so I can't post the code yet. Please post some suggestions on how to make it more interesting/enjoyable.

I like it!

I didn't search for any errors, but I have a few tips:
- Make it so that you don't lose a try by clickin on the same spot twice
- Add a timer as well to make the game harder.

I'd love to see your warm/cold code.

I would really like to post my code now, but I am going to wait until all the other programs are marked because everyone in my class was assigned the same project (Warmer/Colder game) and someone might copy my code and slap their name on it.

Anyway I changed the program so that if you guess on the same space twice it doesn't make you lose a guess. I can't figure out how to make a timer. Any ideas? I also added a hint button (space) that highlights the area where the hidden dot is.

Enjoy!!!

Updated version. I can't get the highscores to work though. i have put background music, a win sound effect, made it so that you cannot get more that 3 hints. (you used to be able to have -4 hints and still keep using them) i have also added a menu, credits and a story to it. Please post some suggestions on how to make it more interesting/enjoyable.

A timer can be created by manipulating the Time.Elapsed function. If you still need help with the timer PM me.

good game, just a small note since you said it was for school, you spelled information as imformation.

Nice work, but how many lines of code is it? 600 KB seems awefully large, and theres no pictures included

Also, if you have a bunch of guesses drawn around the dot, and you press space bar for a hint, it erases some of em.

It's an executable. Turing (WinOOT) executables are always 650kb+ when not zipped.

That's because it's a Turing .exe. Even a [put "Hello World"] program, when compiled, is about this large.

Carey: If you zip or rar the file, you can get the file down to ~300kb. It's good for bandwidth. Also, you can just edit your first post and change the attached file there if you want to upload a new version. That's good for preventing you from exceeding your upload quota.

Updated version. The highscoes work fine. I added a title on the bar at the top, difficulty level chooser, a quit option for when you are in the game, lowered the number of levels you have to beat before you win, put a different score counter in, put a limit on the length of the name (30) , made it so your name can now have spaces, made it so when you look at the high scores you see score, name, level, and difficulty. i also put a limit of 15 high scores on the highscore list,
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAND I spell checked it.

i am working on a timer right now and should have it done within a week.

The updated version is somewhere near the top of page 1 in this topic.
As always if you have suggestions please post them.

[endusto]

if you use a hint thats on your guesses it will erase them.
oh and have you even went to the story page? let it play the whole thing... its a little wierd...

edit: yay! i beat the game

4/24/2006 Update

Sorry about the story thing. it happend when i used wordperfect to spell check it. it converted a (c) into a copyright symbol and turing can't handle that so it just left a blank space there.

Anyway, new features! i have made the win sound overlap the music instead of playing then having to start the music again. i have made the controls customizable (it automaticly saves and loads them from a .dat file so you don't have to change them every time you play). Also the game now has a timer, pause funtion, an option if you want to enter the highscores or not, and an explosion animation (basicly a for loop that increases the size of the orage dot to fill the screen).

As always comments (and bits) appreciated.
see top of first page for updated game

[The REAL Man]

WOW! thats pretty good! I'm new here so i don't know much about turing but that looks really good! how many lines is it? when are you going to post your source code?

[Carey]

1. thanks ive been working on it since April 10th
2. 764 (with comments and title)
3. i will post the source code sometime in june when the deadline for the project is. (we got along time to work on it)

i have finished the program and i can't think of any more features to add
any ideas?

[Carey]

All right sorry about the long delay for the source, but i completely forgot about it. I didnt know wether to start a new topic or do a post in the old one, but anyway heres my 2005-2007 grade 10 FP. I will continue to update it because i looked over the coded and couldnt belive how messy it is, but that comes later. Controls and instructions included in the program.

[Pigger]

I read the instructions but i didnt really get the point of the game. How are you supposed to check where the bomb is? Anyway it was a good game i like the music and the title page!
